Code Talker Deck #768703 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Midrange
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon Code Talker / Cyberse Link-4 and Link-5 monsters (Firewall Dragon Darkfluid, Accesscode Talker, Decode Talker Integration) for 2300 to 3000 ATK boards; Stun-style disruption with 16 hand-trap and negation cards, then convert the resulting free turn into a Link board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Lady Debug, Backup @Ignister, Cynet Mining, Code Generator) to find a Level 3 or lower Cyberse starter, go to the Link Summon with Code Talker Inverted or Code Talker, and keep Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence up as protection (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird or Evenly Matched against the opponent's first board, then rebuild a Link board from Code Talker and Cyber engine searches (Inferred)
• Recovery: Rebuild from the Graveyard through Code Talker Inverted, Code Talker and Backup Secretary recursion effects and Link Monsters that revive from the GY (Inferred from text)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in its current list

Why it scores here

The deck reliably finds a searcher (about 90 percent chance of at least one searcher-text card in a five-card hand, Inferred from the hypergeometric table) and runs 16 hand-trap or negation cards, which gives it real interaction density and makes it strong against a board it did not build. Its conversion ceiling depends on Code Talker and Cyber Link lines that the evidence can only read from card text, because no recorded combo boards exist, so the ceiling and the median are both inferred and the median is scored lower for that reason. The score is built from consistency, interaction and going-second power on the system, not from averaging card scores and not from archetype popularity, which the usage data only confirms as a real list. The list is illegal (three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of two), so it does not receive a normal Final score and is capped at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile (primary), no secondary blend applied to the weight vector. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-5); Side deck absence (-3). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + Modifiers(-8) ≈ 44 (Meta provisional, no dated sample). Illegal list: capped at 30 as theoretical/structural-only per the legality guardrail.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense interaction: 16 hand traps and negation-text cards plus 12 removal-text cards
• Searcher density: 20 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a starter in hand
• Link-heavy Extra Deck of 13 Link monsters with Link-5 threats up to 3000 ATK
• Redundant starters across Micro Coder, Cynet Mining, Lady Debug and Backup @Ignister

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of two
• No Side Deck registered, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact archetype purity at 22.9 percent, with 21 tech cards diluting engine density
• No recorded combo boards, so the ceiling and median cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy limit: the list cannot be played legally until one copy is removed
• Single Code Talker Link-3 and Link-4 starters must be reached through Link material, so a failed searcher turn stalls the Link line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3, legal copies 2; Main 56 and Extra 14 are within the OCG size rules; Side is 0; Limited cards Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster and Linkuriboh are each run 1 copy and are legal; Extra Deck composition: 13 Link monsters and 1 Fusion; Exact archetype purity 22.9 percent
• Observed: Usage statistics: 36 stat rows, 24 percent of core cards present
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, hand-trap and archetype-core probabilities; Interaction density from card text (16 negation, 12 removal); Link-chain pilotability and engine conflicts from text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No parseable combos (total_combos 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Deck title is null in the export No Side Deck in the list, so post-side plans cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
